Fanfic Award Categories from Yore
In the public interest, here is the list of fanfiction categories from previous Canadibrit Fan Fiction Awards :
Favorite Overall Fan Fiction
(Should just be renamed, "Best Story".)
Favorite Daria/Trent Shipper Fic
Favorite Daria/Tom Shipper Fic
(This was formerly called the "Best 'Shipper Fic'": Ms. Neilson noted that when she split the awards, there weren't enough D/Tom relationshippers to give an award. I suggest the title be renamed, "Best Daria Romance Fic" -- the requirement is that Daria be in WUV with some other character, Trent, Tom, whoever.)
Favorite Homosexual Shipper Fic
(A more recent award. This should just be renamed "Best Slash", which would cover all categories, male, female, tame, and explict.)
Continuum Award
(A good idea, for best maintainence of a continuum or best new continuum.)
Favorite Tear-Jerker
(Maybe "Best Angst Fic")
Favorite Knee-Slapper
(Maybe "Best Humor Fic")
Favorite Crossover Parody
(Should just be renamed, "Best Crossover" -- not all crossovers are parodies.)
Favorite Holiday Special
(No problem.)
Favorite New Character
(No problem.)
Most Believable Portrayal of Character
(Maybe it should just be named "Best Canon Fic".)
Title Pun Award
(I would recommend against this, but it would fall on deaf ears.)
Best Young Author
(Should be renamed "Best New Author")
There should also be a "Best Erotic Fic" category as well, minimum, which deals with explicit romance.
